I was dragged to the mall yesterday for dinner, but it was relatively painless. We weren't shopping for anything. I feel immensely sorry for anyone who looks forward to Black Friday. It's a good thing that the Michael Jackson trail wasn't still going on, those people would've had a tough decision to make.

Gosh, I must be the biggest loser on the planet then, cuz I been snoozin' for two straight days. Those places scare me to death on a normal day. I keep thinking of the poor bastards who have to work there. They must be near death by now. Like the audio thing. Kinda like 'A Bayou Home Companion'...

Yeah, definitely. The people where I live don't generally sound like that anyway--I live in a city, and the accents here and in the towns around the area are more Cajun-Franco-centric than what people from Chalmette speak. It's a very interesting place, Louisiana.
